I'm a big fan of BDSM books but I found this one to be uninteresting and very poorly written. The dialog was stiff. I ended up skipping to the 'good' scenes but still found them nearly impossible to read. No character development whatsoever. I hate that I disliked this book so much, I hate giving negative reviews but this one didn't do it for me at all.

If you're looking for BDSM fiction, read The Siren by Tiffany Reisz instead. It's a much better book if you're looking for something along the lines of 50 Shades of Gray. Bared to You by Silvia Day is also a great book for erotica fiction, similar in the way it is written to 50 Shades, but without the BDSM angle. If you want heavy BDSM that makes 50 Shades look calm, read The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice (and the two sequels. The two sequels are actually better than the first book). It's not for the faint of heart, but superb if you want extreme erotica.

Pass on this one. It's not worth your time.
